(Oliver Horn, ARTE France, France 5) The Mummies of Taklamakan desert in China, "the land of no return." These people are called Tocharians because of their language.
They are "Lost White Tribes" in Asia, Scythians (Shakyians of Afghanistan) or nomadic wanderers and peripatetic herders.
Caucasian mummies in China reflect a "March of the Titans" or tall white redheads and blondes perfectly preserved 3,000-year-old mummies unearthed in a remote location along the Silk Road.
This is an amazing investigation into the identity of well preserved human remains exhumed from desert sands of China´s Xinjian region. Some are as old as 4,000 years, and all are Caucasians. The Chinese civilization has always contained stories of blue-eyed and blonde-haired people at the edge of their walled empire on the western end in Central Asia.

Their skeletal remains, along with unprecedented artifacts, are helping solve the longstanding question of the origins of human settlement in a politically contested area of China.
